From the CD Paws Claws Scales and Tales
lyrics
Well, my mom brought home this hamster
That her friend unloaded cheap,
And she said since I'm the oldest
It could be my own to keep,
But I told her no thanks cause I read this book
Where a guy had a talking cat.
Wouldn't it be cool to own a
pet like that!
Mr. Popper marches penguins.
Jimmy's boa has a winning smile.
Joshua Primm on East 88th
Has a crocodile named Lyle.
Jeremy Thatcher, dragon hatcher,
Hatched a dragon named Tiamat.
Wouldn't it be cool to own a
pet like that!
Unusual pets are running loose
Through the pages of this book by Dr. Seuss.
Here's a seven hump Wump! Could be just the thing!
Or a tiny hopping Yop or a singing Ying!
I could even dream a pet of my own design,
Like a porcupooch or a rhinopine
Or a triple-headed, chocolate-seeking, vampire bat!
Wouldn't it be cool to own a
pet like that!
Now my sister owns the hamster,
And she named him Polkadot,
And his fur feels warm and friendly,
And we play with him a lot,
And he makes us laugh stuffing sunflower seeds
In his cheeks till his face turns fat!
It's truly cool to own a
pet like that!
That her friend unloaded cheap,
And she said since I'm the oldest
It could be my own to keep,
But I told her no thanks cause I read this book
Where a guy had a talking cat.
Wouldn't it be cool to own a
pet like that!
Mr. Popper marches penguins.
Jimmy's boa has a winning smile.
Joshua Primm on East 88th
Has a crocodile named Lyle.
Jeremy Thatcher, dragon hatcher,
Hatched a dragon named Tiamat.
Wouldn't it be cool to own a
pet like that!

And his fur feels warm and friendly,
And we play with him a lot,
And he makes us laugh stuffing sunflower seeds

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
